Owing to the inefficiency of the conventional primary and secondary recovery methods to
yield above 20–40% of the OOIP (original oil in place) as incremental oil, the need for EOR …

Surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) includes surfactant flooding and surfactant
stimulation. The main functions of surfactants are to reduce interfacial tension and wettability …

In this paper, recent advances in surfactant enhanced oil recovery (EOR) are reviewed. The
addition of alkali to surfactant flooding in the 1980s reduced the amount of surfactant …

The interfacial interaction between mineral surfaces and immiscible fluids determines the
efficiency of enhanced oil or gas recovery operations as well as our ability to inject and store …

Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration (WA) are important enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) mechanisms that help displace residual oil from the reservoir. Many studies …

Polymer flooding is a proven chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (cEOR) method that boosts
oil production beyond waterflooding. Thorough theoretical and practical knowledge has …

This book combines the results of current research with essential background material to
provide complete, in-depth coverage of every aspect of in situ and ex situ bioremediation, as …

We describe a three-dimensional, multicomponent, multiphase compositional finite-
difference simulator for application to the analysis of contaminant transport and surfactant …

Across the United States, thousands of hazardous waste sites are contaminated with
chemicals that prevent the underlying groundwater from meeting drinking water standards …

In recent years, surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) has attracted increasing
interest duo to the high efficiency of removing non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) from …
